.444 marlin

You have the winning combo there. The best jacketed bullet in the 444 and the right powder. I always had lever guns in 444 so always ran decent crimp, but might not need to in your cva, try without a crimp but if you are getting un-burnt powder or accuracy is not what you would like it to be start with a light crimp and see if it helps. You can also play with seating depth more if not crimping as you do not have to worry about cannelure.

Have you checked your velocity using imr 4198 and a hornady 265 Gn fp? I'm using 43.0 gn imr 4198 at 2.575"
